"Einasto Supercluster: Unveiling the Universe's Most Massive Galactic Gathering"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have discovered the Einasto Supercluster, measuring an incredible 360 million light years across and home to 26 quadrillion stars, making it the most massive supercluster ever found. Superclusters are collections of galaxies bound together by gravity, and the discovery sheds light on the dynamics and temporary nature of these structures. The study also revealed that galaxies within a supercluster are receding from each other slower than the general expansion of the universe due to the gravitational pull of the supercluster, and there is an inverse square relationship between the density and size of a supercluster.
